    Hey dear, Good to read your commission survey or research work was organized by Scottish government. I m from Pakistan I m also a Bee keeper. I need some queries about EFB what are the main reasons behind of EFB Bee Queen's age does matter? Or drones health during mating with Queen bee ? Or lack of interest of worker Bee's? Or environmental impact? Or lack of nectar? Or nearest apiaries?

    with my bad back, I could not bend over that long, plus it would be easy to roll the bees, and possibly your good queen, since there is nothing smooth about taking out the frames, nor re-inserting them back in place, wiggling it in side by side could have damaged any of the bees, how do they not propolis those frames out of your reach to easily fix? You also put the frames back out of order, putting an empty frame where the queen's frame was and put the frame with brood on the outside which is unnatural for the bees breaking the way the bees had organized. Looks like you easily squished bees with the taking out and putting back in, which irritates the bees and I noticed there are a lot of pissed bees as you are working this hive. This is a goofy appearing system at least how he is presenting it. I was considering this system, but geez, there are much better ways

    While these kind of hives are used outside as they are made to be carried via straps on te back like a rucksack the only way it could be done in the olden days without trucks. Without an actual beehouse these hives don't truly shine. Now you might invest twice as much in a beehouse then you would your silly box hives the hives must last at least 40 years in it. But it makes the whole process of beekeeping a joy and easy And you will actually be producing honey 12% moisture max, not that honeywatter you call honey.

    I'm having a hard time understanding how much you can warm honey to separate it from frames and wax without messing up the taste and qualify of the honey? I hope someone has some advise. Part of the problem was insitigated because the frames were too heavy and when I put them in the extractor to spin the combs kept breaking off. So I was forced to do a crush and strain method with filters and warming. Another issue is that in the how to videos, they always show these perfect even frames, but most of my frames aren't flat. They are sort of uneven most of the time, and have bulges from the summer heat causing the frames to sag and then the bees fixing it. So its ackward trying to even uncap the frames.

    There is no consideration about what happens to bees when removing and replacing the frames. How many bees are getting squashed and scraped during the sliding of the frames. 5:10 I can't bare to watch those bees getting pummelled around while you fumble with the bloody frame...

    I use every second frame with wax foundation in my six frame traps as i find they tend to build cross comb if you use all starter strips

    • @stevencraig1871
      @stevencraig1871 3 года назад

      Thinking of using a six frame nuc myself, so do you use 3 frames of full foundation and 3 with strips ? I was thinking maybe using one frame with old comb.

    As a Slovenian i have to comment this one. This is not typical AZ hive and that is the reason that mister on the video is frustrated working with it. First of all the back doors is made wrong, because we have doors which are opening sideways and also you can remove them completly so you can work easily. Than the frames are completly wrong on the video. The real AZ frames are without "ears" and bold upper edge. And also the whole point of the AZ hives are that you can stack them UNDER the roof into the beehouse, so you can work with bees in any weather. This video i found very offensive to our beekeepers in general. Sincerly, slovenian beekeeper.

    • @Dino-yw1td
      @Dino-yw1td 9 месяцев назад

      As with any other hive, bear opens/destroys it easily. It has already destroyed hives of mine severeal times. I belive in Slovenia is the largest bear density in Europe. Beekeepers need electric fence around beeyard.

    Your Bees must be very strong to fly about in such wind. they did not like what you did they are all up in your face. Is that a plastic Hive behind you nice cars sorry i look at every thing. You must be on top of a hill don't hills or land only in the distance. Love the bay window in the house they don't build houses like that any more just square your house looks not old it looks about 12 or 14 years old. Love bees very industrious little creatures and the honey is a super food i love honey i don't use sugar would give my right arm to get raw unadulterated honey. thanks Allen did enjoy that video i do not keep bees have no place to put them i live in a town
